Artist and educator who makes time-based work that sits absurdly at the cross-section of STEM+DEI+CARE+HUMANITY+SCIENCE-FICTION+DIGITAL-MEDIA. The work plays (de/constructing) in the space of disconnect between the seemingly coded/structured/ordered/production-based space of technology and the messy/complex/idiosyncratic/flawed space of humanity.
